Welcome to Ditch the Ick, the podcast for anyone who’s over settling for less.
Hosted by Katie Carson (your new favorite hype girl), this show dives deep into what it means to be a whole-a$$ person, worthy of love and success—partner or no partner required. Relationships? Sure, they come up—whether they’re romantic, platonic, or the one you have with yourself (because, let’s be honest, the ick never truly dies). But we’re also here to talk about leveling up your life, chasing your dreams, and living boldly on your own terms.
So if you’re tired of waiting for someone else to make your life exciting, stick around. Every week, we’ll talk through what it means to design a life that feels like yours. No fluff, no clichés, no nonsense—just real conversations and a lot of laughs.

77: The Rise of the Whole-Ass Woman: Why It's Your Time To Shine
It’s my birthday week, y’all! 🥳
This week, we’re going IN on what it means to be a whole a$$ woman—not a work in progress, not someone waiting for her “better half,” not someone needing fixing. Just whole, as you are, right now.
I’m sharing personal stories (hi, childhood trauma 🙃), the realities of perfectionism and people pleasing, and the steps I’ve taken—and am still taking—to unlearn the BS and show up unapologetically. We’re also breaking down some practical AF tools to help you stop shrinking, start celebrating your damn wins, and say NO without guilt. ✨
Inside this episode:
Why perfectionism is not your personality trait (it’s survival)
The burnout cycle high-achieving women are stuck in
Why being “the good girl” is a trap
How to reframe your “flaws” into your f*cking superpowers
Tips to stop playing small
We’re ending Women’s History Month by owning our whole-ass selves and ditching the “not enough” narrative once and for all. 🔥
